Yes - the Schallers came in cream. Pretty much identical outside.
I just saw the crack behind the nut. Maybe it was a scratch filled with plastic wood. It is a Gibson after all, so we should expect cracks. I like the look. I like the see-through mudbucker patch. Nothing stealth about it, and no P or J pup vulgarity. Brass nut, big ass speed knobs, and mini toggles - I can't imagine what the second one would do. It is blatant!
